Axelrod Predicts White House Shake Up

November 5, 2014 · 5:00 am ET · 13 Comments

Former Obama adviser David Axelrod told MSNBC that he predicts changes at the White House in the aftermath of the midterm elections.

Said Axelrod: “Washington always wants you to throw out bodies after a bad election, so you’ll hear that hew and cry. But it’s also been a turbulent couple of years — a lot of his team has been there since the beginning. It’s a natural time to evaluate whether you’ve got all the pieces in place that you need, and he should do that.”

When asked if that should include a staff shake-up, Axelrod responded: “Oh, I think so. I mean, I think he will.”
